Show overview

Combo Breaker has been publishing since 2019, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 58 episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 8 min and 12 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language TV & Film show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by OK Retro.
